Take a quick glance of this case study and
analysis.
What kind of problem are we solving, what is the
story?
- We aim to understand consumer preferences for minivans through a
conjoint survey that captures various attributes of each minivan, such
as seating capacity, cargo space, engine type, and price. The dataset
includes responses from several consumers who made multiple choices
among different minivan configurations. By analyzing their responses, we
will determine which attributes are most influential in consumer
decision-making. This study forms part of a project for the UC San
Diego, MSBA program; MGTA 495 - Marketing Analytics course.
What is the goal of the analysis?
- The goal is to build a Multinomial Logit (MNL) model to estimate the
relative preferences of different minivan attributes. This model will
identify which attributes (e.g., more seats or larger cargo space) are
most preferred and convert the price coefficient into a
“dollar-per-util” value to compare the monetary worth of different
features.
